' TELEPHONE ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. y16, 1918. I

Application filed June 9, 1917. Serial No. 173,691. i

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN KOPCZYK, a citizen of the United States, resident of Kenosha, county of Kenosha, and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Telephone Attachments, of which the following is a speciication.

This invention relates to improvements in record receiving attachments for telephones,

and has as its principal object the provision of means whereby a roll of paper may be conveniently attached to the telephone instrument in such manner as not to interfere with its construction or use, an extension of the rolled strip being provided with a suitable support so as to enable a record to be made readily upon it.

Anotherobject is to provide such means in 20, the horizontally disposed portions 26 of forms which are relatively inexpensive to construct and which may be applied to'any telephone instrument of the ordinary type without difficulty,

These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereafter-`deseribed and shown in -theaccompanying drawings, forming a Inaterial part `of this disclosure, and in whichr- Figure l is a front View of an ordinary telephoneinstrument, showing the application of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View of the same, showing its construction.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fraginental sectional view showing one corner of the attachment.

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional View taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of the telephone showingthe attachment in position for use.

Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view of the attachment, and

Fig. 7 is a fragmental top plan view of the same. v A

In the drawings,'tl 1e telephone instrument has a base 10, showin with a standard 11, surmounted by the transmitter 12, thereceiver 13 being held by the hooks 14 in ordinary types of the well-known instrument.

An open resilient ring or band 15, having outturned lugs 16,' at its open ends is clamped to the standard 11 by means of the ,55 screw 17 at any desired height thereon.

the frame acting as a casing for the cylindrical spool 28 upon which is lwound several convolutions of the paper 30, contained between the heads- 31, secured to the spool 28 so as to hold the paper in proper position; in the ends of the spool 28 are rectangular openings 33, receptive of the square extensions 34, formed with the pins 20.

Formed with the casing is a thin flat plate 35, against which the paper is adapted to rest when being inscribed, the plate having re'e'ntrantly turned edge strips, 36, slightly overlying the margin of the paper strip as it is withdrawn, the strips being connected by a cross-bar 37yat the bottom,

forming in elect a frame through which the paper can be marked. Rigidly secured to the inner end of the arms 19 is an indented disk 40 through which the pins 2 0 freely rotate5 and secured by the pivotal pins 41 are levers 42, the free ends 43 of which engage with the indentations in the disk 40, and are normally held therein bymeans of the flat pressure spring 44, so as to hold the plate35 rigidly at any angle which Vmay be most 4convenient to the operator, and in order to be able to change the angle, pins' 45 are rigidly inserted in the levers 42 by means of which the detents 43 may be withdrawn, opposing the springs 44,

' and allowing adjustment of the plate 35.

In order to render the appliance more convenient, a pair 4of spring clips 48, are 4securedto the front of the attachment, as shown; in Figs. 1 and '5, the same being adapted to receive a pencil 50, so that'the same may be held in a convenient position,

ready for immediate use.

In operation, a strip of paper, rolled upon the spool 28, is placed in position within the frame by` withdrawing the knobs 21, which are held normally against rotation by the resistance of the springs 23, and which hold the paper roll centrally with relation to the v frame 26, as can be seen in Figs. -1 and 2, the loose end of the paper being drawn downward under the bar 37 vso as to expose its surface in the manner indicated.

y When an inscription has been made, the paper is drawn below the bar 87, which may bev used as a shear in separating the sheets,

thereby tearing off the required portion, and when it is desired to adjust the attachment on thestandard 11, obviously it is only necessaryto loosen the screw 17, thereby .allowing the' entire structure to be adjusted I .claim as new, and desire `to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a telephone attachment, the combination with an, open resilient ring and a bracket' support carried by said ringgxoil:l a rame pivotally engaged in said bracket support, a spool receivable Within said frame upon which a strip of paper may be Wound, a plate upon which said strip may vbe eX- tended, said plate having a marginal in'- closure for said strip, means formed at the bottom of said plate whereby the strip may be torn transversely, vmeans permitting the adjustment of said plate at an angle relative to said bracket support, and means for positively holding said plate in an adjusted position.

'In testimony whereof I have alxed my signature.
